Representaion Supposing Books Ask the Passengers

Astrid Jones desperately wants to confide in someone, but her mother's pushiness and her father's lack of interest tell her they're the last people she can trust. Instead, Astrid spends hours lying on the backyard picnic table watching airplanes fly overhead. She doesn't know the passengers inside, but they're the only people who won't judge her when she asks them her most personal questions--like what it means that she's falling in love with a girl.

As her secret relationship becomes more intense and her friends demand answers, Astrid has nowhere left to turn. She can't share the truth with anyone except the people at thirty thousand feet, and they don't even know she's there. But little does Astrid know just how much even the tiniest connection will affect these strangers' lives--and her own--for the better.

In this truly original portrayal of a girl struggling to break free of society's definitions, Printz Honor author A.S. King asks readers to question everything--and offers hope to those who will never stop seeking real love.

Notice Of Books Ask the Passengers

Oh this was so great. BRILLIANT. A.S. King, where have you been all my life? I feel like I had a firm grasp of the characters within the first 15 pages, I just immediately understood them. That is talent. I will definitely definitely be reading more from her in the future. King handles the subject matter PERFECTLY - an incredibly important book about loving yourself, ignoring small-minded people and how unnecessary labels are. *claps forever*

Why You Might Bump This Up On Your TBR: It's a fabulist lesbian contemporary in which our lesbian protagonist explores her sexuality and the concept of coming out. It uses philosophy as its tie-in educational plot device! It has other queer characters (2 secondary lesbians, 2 minor character lesbians, 2 minor character gay boys). It also displays the sexual confusion that exists for all blossoming teenagers. Lastly, it made me cry a lot during my last reading sprint of it.Why You Might Bump This

Edited for second read.Scratch that dumb 4.5 rating + review I gave for the first read.This book IS A NECESSITY FOR EVERYONE.Overflowing 5 stars for you, A.S King.I am sending my love to you even though you're not in an airplane.I love you.----4.5I am now starting to love A.S. King. I loved her Please Ignore Vera Dietz and I was totally swept away by this book. I am now marking her other works as to be read ASAP.First off, what I liked most are the absolutely realistic and consistent characters

I enjoyed this contemporary YA, at first I was annoyed by the artifice of the inset passenger clips. I thought they were an excuse the author was using to get all essay and literary on the reader, but at the end they tied in nicely and I forgave A.S. King.

Lovely story - understated, but incredibly gripping. And my love for A.S. King is confirmed once again.To love this book, you need to love its narrator, and for me at least Astrid is impossible not to love.Sure, she's a questioning teenager, and she's confused - but she's sensible too. She's hurt, but resilient; emotional, but rational.Her voice is calm, even through the hurdles she has to overcome, and when she finally loses her cool, she does it in a way that only made me appreciate her more.

Very unique story that was shared with a sense of levity by an immediately likeable character. It was because of the smooth, funny, thoughtful narrative that allowed me to enjoy this novel about a very serious subject. Astrid Jones is from a small town called Unity Valley. We meet her at a time when shes struggling to understand her sexual orientation and how and when she wants to make it public to family and friends. She cant quite open up to her mother, which she finds hard to connect with or

I did not like this book. Ask the Passengers was disappointing because I wanted to like it, since I was interested in the premise and I knew it was an acclaimed novel. But I just had too many problems with this book to enjoy it.Ask the Passengers is about Astrid, a senior in high school in the small, close-minded town of Unity Valley. Many of the people at her school are bigoted and the whole town is a vicious rumor mill. Her family is not understanding and for the most part they ignore her. So
